Hi Ole,

I think there is one more point, see inline ~~

[Qiong] and a sub-mode for "source IPv6 address determiniation", how to
determine the encapsulated IPv6 source address.
1) algorithmic, LAN prefix + embedded IPv4 address/PSID in Interface
Identifier (MAP)
2) WAN IPv6 address (DS-Lite, LW46, Public 4over6)

Right ?

Best wishes
